Not sure where to put this post so popped it in here

Got a table booked tonight and using a Groupon voucher, do you tell them before you order or hand it in at payment :o

    Always before you order as there might be a different menu that you are supposed to use.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    I've used a restaurant Groupon voucher on a restaurant I've regularly been to and the portion sizes were identical :)

    Although, that's not necessarily the same for every restaurant.

    So, no, I don't know why I posted!!
    i before e, except when you run a feisty heist on a weird beige foreign neighbour

    To use Groupon, the restaurant will be taking less than 25% of the menu cost for your meal, which will barely cover ingredients - so do the nice thing and buy tea/coffee/dinks/dessert so they make some of their losses back ;-)

    Yes we did buy drinks and pudding :)

    Had a lovely meal and will definitely be going back on a regular basis,the food was fantastic :j

    We spoke to the manager and they did a Groupon promo as its only been open 8 weeks, it did have a bad reputation and been closed for several years,last time i went was 15 years ago and certainly wouldnt have gone in there if it was not for the Groupon offer

    BTW this is the place if you live near Tattershall
